PDP Faction Backs Governor Idris for Kebbi Election
The re-election bid of Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Nasir Idris, has received significant support from a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This support was publicly announced at the Birnin Kebbi residence of former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (rtd), where hundreds of PDP stakeholders gathered.
Among the attendees were loyalists of the PDP's 2015 governorship candidate, General Bello Sarkin Yaki, former Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Buhari Bala. Bamaiyi stated that despite the ongoing crisis within the PDP at the national level, progressive politicians in Kebbi could not remain passive.
He cited the visible transformation in Birnin Kebbi and Idris's commitment to critical infrastructure projects as reasons for their support. Bamaiyi declared their full commitment to the victory of Governor Nasir Idris for the 2027 elections while affirming their intention to remain within the PDP.
Alhaji Buhari Bala echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for sustained development in Kebbi.
